Can Creator create morality from nothing?

You wouldn't think it was irrational would you? What an odd addendum to the sentence.

This declaration puzzles me, if he has no power to create morality, then how is "it" God. The ability to adjust, tune, create, affect reality seems to be a necessity for any projected deity.

Why are we using abstract ideas in the context of physical entities to be created?
Morality and Evolution aren't "things", they are both ideas.
You could apply the same thing to Marxism, if God can't create Marxism, then neither can Evolution! If God can't create Imagination, then neither can Evolution! If God can't create thoughts then neither can evolution.
If God™ can't do it... nothing can!

Seeing as morality can at least be theorised as developing through natural selection, its probably unfair to declare it "Can't".

God can't know how a bike ride feels, therefore neither can mankind... therefore bike riding is eternal.

Not easily provable. Nobody managed it yet.

Therefore I do not find it rational to conclude.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
